Week 3 Reading Reflection

My biggest surprise was that technically by what was said, i fit under a type A personality almost as much as under a type B personality, with my talking fast and sense of urgency for time.

The idea of unrealistic optimism kind of confused me. I understand certain ideas wont be able to get off the ground easily but I feel mostly everything can be done if you have society on your side(which is the hard part) and have the resourcefulness to go make it happen.

Two questions for the author:
1.) Do you have any advice on how to balance the desire for profit/risk and activity factor. Tips on opportunity cost? Correlation studies showing wealth and happiness?

2.)What would be your idea of unrealistic optimism in a new venture?

I guess I disagree on the possibility of being unrealistic or that that eventuality could be a bad thing. If anything it could open new doors for everyone. No one knows everything, there's much to be proven wrong.
